For those who made it into housing, it often felt less like following a path and more like a lucky break. A Portland State study on what that says about the system:

David says we can no longer keep our heads in the sand hoping that homelessness will go away on its own. The lack of affordable housing needs to be addressed in every city in America. invisiblepeople.tv/videos/el…

Forty-six years ago today, President Jimmy Carter signed Public Law 96-428, establishing the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site and Preservation District in Atlanta. It was part of my mother’s vision to ensure that the places where Daddy was born, lived, worshipped, worked, and was laid to rest would be protected for generations to come.
For my mother, preservation was never simply about protecting buildings. She understood that preserving these sacred spaces also meant preserving truth, history, and the lessons of the movement.
Today, the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park stands as a testament to her vision and to the importance of ensuring that future generations can walk these grounds, learn this history, and be inspired to continue the work.

It was 94° at 10am in Bakersfield CA as workers cut and packed Asian vegetables into produce boxes. This fast paced work in an open field is grueling as it means a lot of bending and by the end of the day workers tell us their back aches. #WeFeedYou

“Octavio” and his coworkers are planting lettuce in Oxnard CA. "Some sit in the machine and drop the young seedlings through the funnel where they're rapidly planted. Others are walking behind the machine to replant the seedlings that don’t make it in the dirt right." #WeFeedYou

"Ramiro" says, "We’re in the final stretch of the summer strawberry season on CAs Central Coast. We get 3 good months of work. Then in Nov-March, there’s no work. We try to use the little we’ve saved to get through those hard months. It's hard as rent's very expensive. #WeFeedYou

"Oscar" works in the Salinas CA strawberry fields. "We harvest strawberries. After we fill a box, we take it to the machine. The machine sets the pace which makes this job much more tiring as it sets a very fast pace." #WeFeedYou

"Jose" is working in Delano CA. "My partner and I are loading the boxes of grapes that the workers have already picked on to the truck. My hands hurt a lot from lifting so many boxes onto the truck all day. We have to load them quickly because so many are coming in." #WeFeedYou

"Abel" is weeding & thinning in the beets in the Cuyama CA area. "We earn CA minimum wage of $16.70/hr. This is exhausting work as we are bent over all day long so our backs ache. There isn't shade in the fields, so the sun beats down upon us and makes it even harder." #WeFeedYou

"Adan" works in Gilroy CA harvesting poblano peppers that are used for chiles rellenos. "I'm paid by the hour, but if I don't fill at least 7 buckets an hour I can lose my job. It's wrong that our pay goes down, but the expected productivity goes up." #WeFeedYou
